ok, then try:

calculated column = IF(CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('applications'[activity name]),ALLEXCEPT('applications','applications'[id]), 'applications'[activity name] <> "abc") >0, "Type A", "Type B")

you haven't mentioned the table name, so for the example below I used "applications":

calculated column = IF(CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('applications'[activity name]),ALLEXCEPT('applications','applications'[id])) = 1, "Type B", "Type A")
